DRIVE (Daniel H. Pink)

"Drive," by Daniel H. Pink, explores the idea that human motivation is driven by three key elements: autonomy, mastery, and purpose. Autonomy refers to our desire for self-direction in our work and decisions. Mastery is the drive to improve and excel at tasks, while purpose involves a larger goal or meaning beyond our individual interests. Pink argues that traditional rewards, like monetary incentives, can be less effective in engaging people than fostering environments that promote these intrinsic motivators, leading to greater satisfaction and performance in both personal and professional settings.
